Donald Rumsfeld -

 Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn -

Totalitarianism demands of us only a submission to lies, a daily participation in deceit—and this suffices as our fealty.

Christopher Hitchens -

 Islamophobia… A word created by Fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.

G.K. Chesterton -

 The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.

Plato -

 One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
